Learn a simple magic card trick and perform it.

“Just want to reflect on my first performance. So I just finished the first level of my magic classes. I did my first performance of one trick. I had a brain fart, in 5 seconds forgot what card I was looking for and it didn't go right, but I continued on with the same thing, and dropped 75% of the deck... but recovered again and finished the trick the way it was supposed to go. I guess this was mainly nerves I saw a packed house and the other top their magicians who were there.”

“So I am a beginner to card magic, and I performed Chicago Opener for my mom the other day (fairly simple trick, no extremely difficult slights or anything) and after I performed it she goes "wow that was amazing... what do you have a hidden card on the bottom or something?" I mean, I didn't flash or anything but when I first saw the trick I was blown away and had no clue of how it was done but it seemed like as a layperson she immediately almost had an idea of what was going on. The same thing with my sister, she almost guessed how the Invisible deck trick was done when I did it for her.”

“Today I showed my invisible deck trick the first time (I'm new to magic) and while I practiced at home everything was perfect and the first try was perfect, then he wanted to see it again so I turned around and said that I would turn over another card, he told me his new card and not only could you see that there were cards between because I didn't apply enough pressure, I also was to dumb to subtract his number from 13 and did it to 15, so I gave him, with the most confidence I could bring up, the wrong card (and because I was so nervous about the cards in between it was also the wrong suit, fml)”
